Wood carvings are an
important part of Northwest Coast ceremonies. There are many nations within
this region. Some of the major nations are the Coast Salish, Haida,
Kwakwaka'wakw, Nisga'a, Nuu-chah-nulth, Nuxalt, Tlingit, and Tsimshian. Masks,
bowls, spoons, and halibut hooks, which represent animal figures, are the primary
focus of our selection of wood carvings.
